The weakened angel still mustered her strength to cheer for her leader.
Meanwhile, the Wind Spirits, who still had energy left, surged forward en masse.
While their leader was battling the strongest enemy in the skies, they had to hold off the rest of the creatures to prevent them from providing support. Victory hinged on defeating the massive bird in the sky.
On the opposing side, however, there was no sign of panic especially among the Roc clan.
They had no intention of aiding their leader. It was blatantly obvious.
After all, when it came to aerial combat, their leader was invincible.
A flaming angel? She wasn't even on par with the dark fireball that their elder brother, Hyper Zetton, could unleash.
Why would they need to step in?
But the Seraph thought differently. She felt the surge of her newfound strength as if victory was already within her grasp!
"Hmph!"
"The blazing sword in my hand shall shatter all calamities."
"I will restore the glory of my mother planet and bring dawn to the Mother Goddess!"
"Angels of the blazing wings, grant me the power to defeat this monster and banish the shadows!"
Gripping her sword tightly, she roared with determination as her six wings spread wide behind her.
In the next moment, she bent her knees, then kicked off the ground, launching herself at supersonic speed.
The giant sword cleaved through the air, leaving a trail of flames that lingered long after. She aimed directly at Kunpeng soaring in the skies.
Caught off guard by her speed, Kunpeng barely had time to react. It hastily flapped its wings to block.
The collision unleashed a terrifying shockwave, momentarily resulting in a deadlock!
Sensing danger, Kunpeng quickly pulled back and spiraled upward into the clouds.
The Seraph refused to let up, flapping her six wings to chase after him.
The two figures clashed and wrestled amidst the clouds, their battle illuminating the heavens with flashes of light.
For those watching below, the fight was a dazzling spectacle.
Beneath the vast sky, the only visible traces of the combatants were two streaks of light one golden-red, the other multicolored entwined and colliding repeatedly.
Even a Sky Spirit, trained to perceive the subtlest movements in the air, could hardly make out their forms.
"So this is the power of a peak War General? Truly terrifying," the Sky Spirit murmured in awe.
On her home planet, only the Forest Dragon had ever reached such a level of strength.
In her understanding, this was already the pinnacle of power!
However, before she could dwell further, she quickly refocused.
As the top combatants clashed in the sky, the rest of the Roc clan and the Sea Emperor launched their assault.
"Wind Spirits, hear my command! Erect a wind wall and block their advance!"
"We must not let them provide support. This is our only chance!"
Under her orders, the Wind Spirits surged forward, escalating the battlefield into utter chaos.
Meanwhile, high above the clouds, the battle intensified.
The Seraph and Kunpeng exchanged blows, their strikes evenly matched, and the energy radiating from their clashes was overwhelming.
The clouds began to part, and the first rays of sunlight peeked through.
As if sensing something profound, the Seraph's confidence soared, and her energy spiked dramatically.
"Heaven itself favors me," she whispered.
Under Kunpeng's watchful gaze, the Seraph raised her massive blade high.
Specks of light descended from the sun, drawn toward the edge of her sword.
As the light gathered, her greatsword was soon engulfed in a radiant golden glow.
She didn't waste words. Channeling her full strength, she surged toward Kunpeng with the speed of lightning and thunder.
For a fleeting moment, Kunpeng felt as though she had surpassed his speed.
It flapped its wings to dodge.
But in the skies, a streak of golden-red light flashed, splitting the clouds in two and casting its brilliance across the stars.
The light subsided, leaving a faint squelch that echoed across the heavens.
Looking closely, Kunpeng had been a fraction too slow.
A wound marred one of its wings, a fiery scar etched into its feathers, with drops of blood dripping downward.
The sight stunned everyone on the ground.
Cheers erupted from the angels and Wind Spirits.
"It's injured! The monster is injured!"
"Our leader has a chance to defeat it. She's truly incredible!"
"Yes! If the leader can take it down in one blow, we'll win!"
Hearing the cheers from below, the Seraph swung her heavy sword confidently and smiled.
But in the very next moment, something utterly shocking happened.
A sound, as though from another world, reached Kunpeng's ears.
It shuddered, then casually flapped its wounded wing.
Instantly, a dazzling array of colors enveloped the injury, snuffing out the flames. The wound healed in the blink of an eye.
The angels below: "..."
The Wind Spirits: "..."
The Seraph: (ΩДΩ)!!!
"This... this is impossible!" the Seraph roared in disbelief.
Her pupils contracted as her face twisted in shock.
What she didn't know was that Kunpeng, as a divine beast, possessed an unparalleled healing ability.
Even the sun's searing heat would barely faze it, let alone a mere superficial cut.
"My lord has commanded me to unleash my full strength without restraint," Kunpeng murmured.
"By my lord's decree!"
Kunpeng spread its mighty wings wide, releasing an overwhelming aura.
Its piercing cry was like a blade, slicing through the heavens!
With every beat of its wings, fierce winds roared, mountains crumbled, and towering tornadoes surrounded it.
The Sky Spirit watching from below was left speechless.
In her domain of expertise, she was utterly crushed, unable to muster any resistance!
Kunpeng flapped its wings once more, sending the tornadoes hurtling toward the Seraph.
Horrified, the Seraph raised her greatsword in a desperate attempt to defend herself.
But then, she realized with a sinking heart that the flames around her were flickering, on the verge of vanishing.
"The fusion skill's time is up!" The Seraph's face turned pale.
Faced with the approaching tornadoes, she had no idea how to defend herself.
The dwindling flames around her body were like fireflies in the face of an overwhelming storm, trembling as if they wished to flee.
"This is the end for me..."
The Seraph closed her eyes, bracing herself for death.
But just as despair took hold, a piercing green beam of corrosive energy shot forth from the edge of the forest!
The beam narrowly missed the Seraph, racing straight toward the tornadoes.
When the two forces collided, destructive energy rippled outward, distorting even the fabric of space.
Fortunately, the Wind Spirits and the Sea Emperor's forces combined their powers, erecting wind and water barriers to contain the aftermath.
Otherwise, Xia Yinyue's planet would have been in grave danger.
As the dust settled and the smoke cleared in the sky, an astonishing scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
The Forest Dragon stood tall upon the earth, while Kunpeng hovered in the heavens above.
The two colossal beasts faced each other, their immense auras shaking heaven and earth.
